Caffein overdose - what to expect

[MusicToLogIn]

Hello.
I wonder what happens if I take a high dose of caffeine. Is it possible to get brain damage if the caffeine causes an irregular heartbeat and I survive the overdose?
Thanks alot.

No, it would take an insane amount of caffeine in a short time frame to do damage. You're not going to be able to "overdose"

im planning to take 54000mg Caffeine pills tonight

I know it's not the smartest way to ctb and really painful. My options are limited. So im desperate and not looking for something peaceful. This is the only option i have left. The lethal dose of caffeine is around 150-200mg per kg of your weight. So if im 60kg around 12000mg would be lethal...

There are many cases , i posted just some of them in this thread. Whether by accident or intentional , some cases seem to have been fast and discreet (some cases with people present at home or rooms nearby). I am sure that it is possible to make this method very lethal but I have not identified the parameters that increase the reussity. I guess fasting and taking anti emetics like with SN can help

I've read some stuff online. I was wondering about the risks of getting braindamage, if the overdose doesnt kill me.
Is it risk free to try to overdose on caffein?
I can't find answers to my questions.

The cases that were recovered appeared to have left the hospital quickly after the attempt. I do not remember having read long term effects but it is complicated to judge because there is a lack of obvious information about this.
Anyway , the cases that ingested +50g seem to have succeeded all except one case where the person called ambulance a few minutes after ingestion. I think as with SN that the success is in the optimization of the method unfortunately my English and my medical knowledge do not help me to easily understand the information. As for the link of the study I posted above, seems to have a lot of information but I do not understand anything about it ..

Caffeine Toxicity - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf

This article explores caffeine toxicity...too much of it can cause seizures, anxiety, migraines...even cardiac arrest or injury to the kidneys! Definitely not risk-free and I don't support it. </3

What kind of seizures are we talking about?

 

[MusicToLogIn]

Will I keep having those seizures?
Are those seizures a one time event when overdosing?

Caffeine is one of the last things I'd personally choose to OD on. I'm old, and was a kid when caffeine pills were only just going out of fashion. I got to watch quite a few PSAs and family sitcom episodes on the dangers of caffeine overdose.

You probably won't have just one seizure. I'm not an expert, so I'd continue doing research with the links provided above.

I hope you find yourself with whatever result you're hoping for, genuinely. Best of luck.
